Editor's Notes
- #3 When you fail to protect your income, your dreams for a comfortable retirement, college education for the kids, or passing on assets may not become a reality. This diagram shows how to make plans for your financial future. Protecting assets is the foundation of a solid financial plan. Insurance helps you prepare for the unexpected: property damage, medical expenses, loss of life, and loss of income due to disability. Removing your income from the foundation can cause your financial plan to come tumbling down.
- #4 You insure your home, your cars, but what about your income? The ability to work and earn an income may be your most valuable asset.
- #5 What would you if you became too sick or hurt to work? If you’re like most people, you would probably find it hard to maintain your current lifestyles.
- #6 If asked, most of us would consider our home or our savings our most valuable asset. Actually, our most valuable asset could be considered our ability to earn the income that provides the resources and security so important to our families. Did you know that 30% of those aged 30 to 65 will, during their work career, experience a disability that will last at least three months. One in seven of us will be disabled for five years or more. This statistic may strike you as high but there are reasons for the high incidence of disability.
- #8 The causes of disability may surprise you! Here’s a breakdown (by percentage of claims) of some typical reasons an individual may become disabled. With Individual Disability Income insurance from Principal Life, you can feel secure in knowing that by helping to protect one of your most valuable assets, your ability to work and earn an income – you can reduce the financial strain even a short-term disability can cause if you become too sick or hurt to work.
- #10 WHICH JOB WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE? For only a small percentage of your salary, Principal Life can help replace a portion of your income and help protect what it provides if you become too sick or hurt to work.
- #11 How would you meet one of the biggest financial obligations you face each month if you became too sick or hurt to work? • Did you know that 48% of all home foreclosures are due to serious medical problems? (National Underwriter, May 2002) • More than 40% of U.S. workers risk losing their homes and ability to support their families because they lack income replacement protection if a disability strikes. (Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., study, Oct. 2003) • Most people’s savings will cover less than six months of expenses. (Business Almanac, 1997) • Nearly half of the one million Americans who filed for bankruptcy protection in 1999 did so after being sidelined by an unexpected illness or injury. (New York Post, April 3, 2000, “There’s No Insuring You Won’t Go Bankrupt”)
